now that i am in the process of replaceing my stock wheels with some 16's i have uped my tyre sizes to 205/45/16 and 225/45/16.
question is now, what pressures should i run?
if it makes a diffrence, the car is my daily and sees little to no track time.
Thanks

Re: Tyre Pressures?
So what effect does lowering/highering that pressure have on the handling and wear rate?
Re: Tyre Pressures?
What model of tyre do you have fitted?
I have 205/45/R16 & 225/45/R16 Toyo Proxes T1R on mine, after experimenting with different pressures I've settled on 2.1bar front and 2.4bar rear (stock pressures are 2.0bar/2.3bar).
